Frequently Asked Questions
Q How is a weighted GPA calculated differently from an unweighted GPA?
An unweighted GPA assigns points on a 4.0 scale regardless of course difficulty (A=4, B=3, C=2). A weighted GPA adds bonus points for advanced courses: Honors courses receive +0.5 points (A=4.5) and AP/IB courses receive +1.0 point (A=5.0).
Q How is cumulative grade point average calculated mathematically?
Cumulative GPA = Total Quality Points Earned / Total Credit Hours Attempted, where Quality Points for each class = Grade Point Value × Course Credit Hours.
Q How do credit hours affect overall GPA weighting?
Courses with higher credit hours (e.g. a 4-credit lab science) carry more mathematical weight in your GPA calculation than lower-credit courses (e.g. a 1-credit seminar).
